In this video, we take a look at British trackside signs and signals. I explain what various trackside signs mean, followed by the basic principles of signalling and different signal types before taking a look at three different driving scenarios. After this, we take a look at the RETB system on the West Highland Line Extension and how to use the in cab radio system to operate it.
This tutorial isn't perfect, and some information has been deliberately left out to keep the length of the video down and because the signals in Train Simulator aren't quite the same as the signals in real life. I noticed a couple of mistakes/bits of missing information which I have corrected with annotations on this video.
The driving scenarios are:
1. Approaching a red signal from high speed.
2. Chasing yellows.
3. Diverging route signals.
I decided not to include a semaphore signal driving tutorial. Semaphore signals are covered in this video, but the principles of approaching them are the same as approaching colour light signals.
Also not included is the TVM 430 signalling system found on the London to Faversham route. This was excluded to try and keep the length of the video down, and also because it's a French signalling system. I will be making a separate, shorter tutorial to cover the TVM 430 system.
